Am I right in thinking that, in the grand scheme of things, this election is fairly irrelevant? That it will be mostly used by politicians as a public indicitve vote on who's approach to brexit has the most support?
If that's true, am I better off voting LD to boost their numbers, or should I stick with Labour (I've got Clare Moody and Andrew Adonis who are poth pro remain AFAIK) because the D’Hondt voting system will favour the big parties?

There isn't much in the way of nuanced discussion around this, so even though at least 2 of my 6 Labour candidates are pro remain, will that carry across in the national debate. Or will Labour take that as an indication that their current position is supported?

Maybe you should look into how each mep interacts in Europe? I know the UK hasn't really interacted that well with Europe but the national party lines dont necessarily transfer over. Gonzos response has the key info - what bloc will they become part of if elected.

I swear to God if they get in im calling shenanigans on reality and that we are stuck in the alternate timeline someone created when they invented time travel circa 2015.
